Now first off I'm no tout, and I'm not trying to make any profit in this transaction...
I purchased two tickets to see pulp headline in hyde park on sun 3 July a little while ago. Since then a family member is getting married in the US on the 1st and I'm unable to make the gig.
Where is the best place to try to recoup some money? I paid 48.50 for each ticket then 11.50 in total fr rip off fees
As of yet the Sunday of the o2 wireless festival is not sold out ( no other acts named so far)
What are my options? I've never been in this position before
Thanks

I've used this site to sell extras a couple of times: www.scarletmist.comObvioulsy be careful if you arrange to meet up and exchange tickets/cash, as this service ultimately leads to giving you someones name and number to sell to.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll take a look, using viagogo do you only get paid once the event has taken place? (I.e. Will I have to wait until July 4th for them to begin the process of sending me the money?)
Scarlet mist looks interesting as it seems to cut out all the fees companies cream off these type of trnasactions, what has been you success rate on there? Bearing in mind this is an e-ticket and the event is yet to sell out?

Bearing in mind this is an e-ticket and the event is yet to sell out? I've only sold tickets pretty close to the event and have met up with people at the gig or in a pub before hand. I did sell tickets to a gig that wasn't sold out though, so it's worth putting them on there. They only put you in touch with people, so you're under no obligation and some people want to avoid fees, so would rather buy from there.
